First off I am not a pygaze developer, or any kind of developer. I am a psych postdoc who somehow ended up inherenting an unexpected eyetracking project. We have the same eye tracker in my lab, and yes, it is possible to use with pygaze. You run iView in the background while running your task.

There is pygaze documentation on the pygaze website, plus there is a behaviour research methods paper. For more detail on how it works, check out the documentation on the iView Sdk (http://tsgdoc.socsci.ru.nl/images/c/cb/IView_X_SDK_Manual.pdf) . For the SMI tracker, pygaze uses this to implement its functions.

Support for SMI is 'experimental' - some of the pygaze functions are not fully operational. For example, I had a problem with wait_for_saccade_end(). It was not all that hard to fix by going back to the SDK and tweaking.

What do you need to measure with the tracker? Gaze location? Fixations? Saccades?
